A Study on Fuel Saving Measure by Fuel Efficiency Analysis Associated with Weight

Abstract

In recent years, Korea's aviation industry has been developing rapidly due to the emergence of low-cost airlines. In order to survive in such competition, airlines are making various efforts to save the operation cost as much as possible. Fuel costs account for more than 25% of operating costs.
